This last week we have certainly been trying to adjust to homelife with Connor. After a couple of days of sheer craziness, we have settled into what feels like normal. Our normal is far from the typical normal as we deal with many medical issue that persist, but we are trying to make it fit into our life schedule. Nights are difficult with only small blocks of sleep for Little Bug, but we are hoping that this will only get better. The medicine error that we detected hasn't made a huge difference yet. We ended up taking him off of the anti-spasm medicine because the side effects were too severe for Connor. He ended up having horrible dry mouth and no matter how hard we tried to keep constant moisture in his mouth, he was miserable and fussy all the time. I guess no medicine is without it's dark side, so we are hoping that when we follow up with the GI doctor in December that she might have a couple of other suggestions for his severe cramping and spasams.

Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma M. we were able to go to church for the first time in months on Sunday. We certainly need the support and fellowship of our church family and it was wonderful to be back together on a Sunday morning once again. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for watching Connor so we could attend church!! This week holds appointments for Connor, OB check ups for Mama and preparations for Daddy to leave again on the 19th!!! Always busy days around here!!!!!

We are so grateful for all your continued love, support and prayers.............keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Me

Hi my name is Connor Scott Robertson. I was born on January 11, 2006. My daddy is a pilot and I think that is so cool. My mommy gets to stay home with me which I think is super neat because we snuggle and cuddle alot. I was born with a special set of circumstances that require me to get some extra special attention from my doctors. I have Down Syndrome and a heart defect called an AV Canal. I have had a pretty eventful 1st year of life. I have been hospitalized most of the time and have spent alot of time in and out of doctors offices. Even though I have had a lot of difficulty so far, I am quite a fighter. My folks say I can do anything I put my heart and mind to and I believe them, because I am fighting really hard to become a big strong boy. Would you all take the time to say extra prayers for me? I know that God listens to our prayers and I believe he will answer our prayers to bring healing to my body. Can't wait to meet you all and have you watch me grow to be a mighty man of God one day.
